Vessel

Black double vessel with whistle, in animal form

Narrow necked whistling vessel(?) with a double-chambered globular body, cylindrical neck, flattened rim, 1 bridge handle extending from the neck to the body, and a flat base. The vessel has a molded/modeled animal (monkey?) sitting on top of the closed off neck on the second chamber. There is a hole beneath the animal, presumably for a whistle. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior. The vessel was likely fired in a reducing atmosphere as the surface is black and the interior is gray in color. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "3303."
